Slip Stitch (si). Having a st on the needle, put hook through 
work ; thaw thread through work and loop on needle at the 
same time- 

Doi ble (d). Having a st on the needle, pul hook through work, 
draw thread through work (making two loops on the needle) , 
thread over again and through both loops, (This stitch has 
been, especially in wool crochet, called "single crochet." But 
it simplifies crocheting to call it "double crochet," after the 
custom oi workers in Irish crochet; and thai eliminates entirely 
the name "single crochet" ). 

Half Treble (ht). Having a -4 on tin- needle, thread over needle, 
l:-'. through work, thread over and through work, (having 
three sts on the needle), thread over and through ail three

thread over three times, and after thread through work, cro- 
cheting oft by twos. 



Qi idruple Treble (qt). Thread over four times, and crochet off 
bj twos. Sometimes "It" is used for anything longer than 
dt, and the number of loops given. 

Picot (p). A p i> formed on a .h i.v [oining the last four sts 

(or any given nl.cr) in a ring by working a si or a d,

Directions for Working 



Where the words "Crochet Cotton" are used in the 
text of this book, the cotton referred to is the hard- 
twisted cotton known by such trade names as Cordon- 
net, Cordonnet Special, Cordichet, Kord-net, etc., which 
cm he purchased wherever needlework supplies are sold. 

In working by the following, or any directions in 
fact, allowance must be made for the different tension 
of workers, and in the matter of chain stitch especially. 
I hose who crochet rather loosely may find it advisable 
to make one less chain stitch in various places; while 
those who crochet tightly may find it an advantage to 
add one or more chain stitches in places. This adap- 
tation is more necessary in circular work than that of 
straight rows 

Since crochet-hooks vary, even in the most care- 
fully graded kinds, it follows that onlv suggestion and 
not absolute directions can be given for the selections 
of crochet hooks or needles. One worker may require 
a much liner needle to produce the same result that 
am >ther secures with a coarser needle. The size of 
the needle has been recommended in some cases by 
the original worker: sometimes by one who has tested 
a sample of the work: and in some cases a size has 
been suggested from a general knowledge of the work. 

It has not always been possible to give material 



actually used ; some are given exactly, some are esti- 
mated, while some are left to the choice of the worker.

27 d over 27 d, shell over 4 ch, 25 d over 25 d. This 
completes the solid part of the cone; without breaking 
the thread, make the lace for margin as follows : — 

1st round— Ch 5, 1 d over first loop at bottom of 
cone, * ch 4, 1 d over next loop *, make from * to * 
8 times altogether, * 5 ch, miss 4, 1 d over next st 
(taking both loops) *, make from * to * 5 times alto- 
gether, ch 5, 1 d over 4 ch, ch 5, 1 d over same ch, 
make 5 more such meshes down the other side of 
the cone. 2d round — * Ch 2, 1 t over the first loop,

group is the loop at the top of the cone), ch 3, 1 t

shell), make 22 shells all around with 2 ch between. 
.///< round — Make 22 shells like the 3d round, except 
make 3 ch between shells. 5th round — * Ch 3, 1 d 
over the ch between shells, ch 3, 1 d over ch of 3, 
ch 5, i d over same ch, ch 5, 1 d over same, ch 5, 
1 d over same ; repeat from *, making 22 groups of 
picots. Cut and fasten thread. Join each cone to the 
preceding one by 4 corresponding picots ; this is shown 
dearly in the illustration. 

Wheels. — Commence a wheel by winding the cot- 
ton 25 times around the first finger of the left hand, 
slip the strands off the finger, and make 48 d over the 
ring, join with si, * ch 4, miss 2 sts, 1 t over next d, 
ch 5, join with d in top of t last made, make 2 more 
picots of 5 ch, joined in same place with a d, ch 3, 
miss 2 sts, 1 d over next st; repeat from * until there 
are 8 triple picot loops around the wheel. Each wheel 



is joined to the others and to the cones when being 
finished; the illustration makes this clearer than any 
description could. Make enough cones joined together, 
and wheels to correspond, for the size wanted ; when 
they are joined, finish the inside line with ch st and 
cover ch with doubles. Then the linen can be fitted 
and buttonholed in place. 

Figure 2. Centrepiece with Cluny Crochet.— 

The secret of the beauty of this crochet, which rivals 
the handsomest Cluny lace, lies in the use of a very 
coarse crochet needle with tine thread, and a line 
needle with coarse thread. 

Materials. — Two spools white linen thread, No. 40 
and No. 100; two steel crochet needles. No. 12 and 
linen centre, ten inches in diameter. 

Shrink and press the linen and 
draw a circle 10 inches in 
diameter. W i t h sewing-needle 
and No. 40 thread (linen) run 
around this line very evenly three 
times, keeping threads close 
together. Buttonhole with the 
same thread; the work should be 
% of an inch deep when finished. 
Cut away the linen. 1st round — 
With No. 12 needle and No. 40 
thread make double crochet 
around buttonholed edge, with 1 
ch between sts, join neatly with 
si. id round — * Ch 3, picot (2 
ch fastened back in preceding st).

each st of ch. Continue 5 rounds 
nf d. making it lie flat by 
widening, (2 d in id) occasionally 
in the 3d round ; cut and fasten 
thread. 

Points. 1st round — With No. 40 thread and No. 12 
needle, ch 3. p, ch 7. p, ch 3, join with d in crocheted 
band about 5-6 of an inch from starting-point ; repeat, 
making 70 loops around. 2d round — SI to middle of 
loop, make the same picot loops of "ch 3, p. ch 7, p. 
ch 3," all around, joining with d in middle of loop 
below and having 70 loops. 3d round — Divide loops 
in 10 groups of 7 loops each, si to middle of loop, 
ch 10, p, ch 3, d in middle of loop; repeat over one 
group of 7 loops, omitting last picot, turn. 4H1 round 
— SI to middle of loop, ch 10, p. ch 3, d in middle of

Figure 54. Crochet Lace in Cluny Design. 
Materials. — Crochet cotton No. 50, crochet needle 
No. 12 

This lace is designed for a round or oval centre- 
piece: it is made of daisy motifs, crocheted separately 
and joined. Each daisy, with the net worked around 
one end, makes an oval medallion. 

To Make the Daisy. — * Ch 8 for a petal, turn, 
miss 1 ch, (r d, 1 dt, 3 t, 1 lit, 1 d) into the 7 ch ; 
this makes the first petal ; repeat from * until there 
are 9 petals, join in a circle and si up the side of 
first petal to the tip. 1st round — Ch 6, * 1 d on tip 
of next petal, ch 6 ; repeat ; from this the work is in 



Doily. See page 29 




rows around part of the 
daisy. 

1st row — * Ch 3, si in 
every second ch st ; repeat 
until there are 18 meshes 
of 3 ch, this will cover 5 
chains and tips of 6 petals. 
2d row — Ch 2, si on middle 
of first mesh, decreasing the 
number of meshes, * ch 4, 
si on next mesh ; repeat 
from *, omitting 1 mesh at 
the end and joining the last 
time (without any ch) with 
1 t, this rounds off or evens 
the curved edge ; turn and 
repeat the 2d row until it is 
worked to a point, cut and 
fasten thread. Make as 
many of these oval medal- 
lions as are necessary to fill 
the circumference, join 
them in making the first 
round of inside border. 

Having the right side of daisy toward one, fasten 
the thread in the last mesh of first row of meshes. 
The whole inside edge is a series of Irish lace picot 
loops made as follows, — Ch 6, d in fifth ch from 
needle for picot, ch 6, 1 d in fifth ch, ch 1; this 
will be called a picot loop. * Make 1 picot loop, 
t d on middle of ch between petals; repeat from * 

4 times more, 1 picot loop, d over first mesh on 
medallion, 1 picot (only), 1 il on mesh of second 
medallion, 1 picot, turn and make 1 t between the 
last two picots of first medallion (this helps to fill 
the indents between motifs), turn and make 1 picot, 
1 d on middle of ch on second daisy; repeat from 

* until all are joined, si to middle of first loop. 

2d round — Picot loop joined with d to middle of 
picot loop below; between motifs join with 1 t. 3d 
and 4th rounds — Like 2d round, joined always with 
1 d. fitli round — T over picot, ch 3, * 1 t over next

indefinitely, but the principle remains the same. — dts, 
crocheted off once, while the other loops are left on 
the needle to be crocheted off in twos. The curve 
may be varied by the joining in. the chain or edge 
of linen ; joined very closely makes a small circle, 
joined every second ch or st makes a larger circle, 
and joined every third ch or st will make a straight 
edging.

1 lollies with this edge may be made in various 
sizes if the number of d in first round is a multiple 
of eight. For the one illustrated mark linen 
inches in diameter, machine stitch a quarter of an 
i'lch from the line ; lengthen stitch, and without thread 
stitch back of stitching to form a row of holes to 
crochet into; cut out on the line and d into every 
hole made by the needle, making the number of d 
divisible by 8, join with si.

any required size, insertion or edging will prove sat- 
isfactory. It works out beautifully in crochet cotton 
Nos. 70 and too, and coarser threads are equally 
effective. Use a crochet needle to suit the size of 
cotton. (See cover design and page 48.) 

Each little square is made separately and joined 
to the others in working. The first square is made as 
follows : Ch 8, join with si. 1st round — Ch 3 (as it). 
15 more t in the ring, join with si to 3 ch. 3d round 
— Ch 4, 15 t (with 1 ch between) over 15 t below, 
join with si in third of 4 ch. 3d round — SI once 
into first ch, ch 8, I t over same ch, ch 5, * miss one 
mesh, 1 t in next mesh, ch 5, 1 t in same mesh, ch 5,

from * to * for the two remaining sides, join witli 
si and fasten thread. 

The next square is made in the same manner until 
the block of 14 t is finished on the third side of the

last row of the square, then proceed as follows : 
Ch 4, join with si to middle of 8 ch on first medallion, 
cli 4. miss one mesh, 5 t over next mesh, join to cor- 
lesponding st on first medallion, 4 t over next mesh, 
join to corresponding st on first medallion, 5 t over 
next mesh, ch 4, join with si to middle of 8 ch on 
first medallion, ch 4, si to beginning of round (see 
detail, Fig. 94). Medallions may be joined to others 
on two, three, or four sides in the same way. Forty- 
eight medallions are joined in the doily, and 3 rounds 
of crocheting surround the whole. 1st round — (1 t. 
eh 1) over every other st, making 5 t with 1 ch be- 
tween, in each corner. 2d round — (2 t, ch 2) over 
every other mesh, except at corners, where 2 t are 
worked in every mesh. 3d round — I t in every st all 
around. 

Figure 95. Doily. Materials. — No. 40 or 50

Knot stitch (k) is used in this very handsome 
doily. To make a knot, draw out the st on needle 
until it is about % inch long, catch working thread 
and draw through st, insert needle in front of long st 
and under the thread which was drawn through and 
make I d.

double k sts), after the last d, turn, gth row — 2 k 
as before, * d under the 2 threads of next open st 
and close to k, d in next open st (after k), 2 k; 
repeat from * turn. 10th, nth, and 12th rozvs — Like 
9th; there are now 5 rows of ks, which complete the 
scallop; make 6 scallops, join them to a linen centre 
as shown, with edges overlapped. The linen should be 
hemmed or buttonholed, and the lower edge of scal- 
lops sewed to it by overcasting the ch and k sts 
which are on this edge. The open side of the ring 
is also joined, making the ring flat on that side. Fig- 
ure 96 gives a detail of the work

The Most 
Helpful 
Magazine 
For Women 

There are many mag- 
azines devoted to 
stories, many others 
filled with miscellane- 
ous matter of more or 
less value and general 
interesj;; but there is 
just one magazine that 
specializes in the two 
subjects most closely 
associated with the 
average woman's daily 
life — "Fancy -Work" 
and "Housekeeping" 
— with just enough 
clever, wholesome fic- 
tion added to give 
zest. That magazine is 

The Modern Priscilla. 



WHAT "FANCY-WORK" MEANS 

When they see or hear the word "Fancy- Work," many people think 
only of Art Needlework. But as used by The Modern Prisch.la, the 
expression "Fancy- Work" has a much broader meaning. It includes not 
only Embroidery, in all its manifold varieties, but it includes as well such 
feminine handicrafts and occupations as Knitting. Crochet, Lace-making. 
Weaving, Netting, Tatting, Basketry, Bead-work, Oil, Water-color, and 
China Painting, Stenciling, Art Brass Work, Art Leather Work, Pyrog- 
raphy, and the like. 

In The Modern Priscilla space is devoted to all these subjects from 
time to time, and no other magazine covers them half so thoroughly. 

WHAT PRISCILLA GIVES 

In connection with what is broadly termed "Fancy-Work," The 
Modern Priscilla gives a threefold service: 1. It supplies designs in 
infinite variety and of rare beauty (from 50 to 100 each month), with pat- 
terns for those who desire them. 2. It gives detailed and explicit in- 
struction, so clear and complete that any woman of average intelligence 
can gain proficiency in the work that most appeals to her. 3. It provides 
a wealth of suggestions for the practical use and application of the knowl- 
edge thus gained. 

HOW FASHIONS FIT IN 

This last service is especially noticeable in the Fashion Department, 
where in addition to sane and sensible adaptations of the latest modes, 
the use of the most appropriate embroidery is pictured and described in 
connection with each costume illustrated. 

HOW PRISCILLA SAVES ITS COST 

" Fancy- Work," it will now be seen, at least the " Fancy- Work" that 
The Modern Priscilla stands for, is no frivolous occupation for idle 
hours, but a decidedly useful occupation, that will supply at small cost 
many a dainty bit of wearing apparel or household decoration that could 
otherwise be had only at considerable expense, or perhaps could not be 
afforded at all. 

Many a subscriber has gratefully acknowledged this debt to Priscilla. 
more than a few asserting that aeinyle copy has often suggested econ- 
omies amounting to more than the year's subscription price. 

HOW A GOOD MAGAZINE WAS MADE BETTER 

Much as can truthfully be said about the " Fancy- Work" value of 
The Modern Priscilla, scarcely half the story has been told. 

In 1911 the publishers of The Modern Priscilla purchased the well 
known domestic science magazine called " Everyday Housekeeping," and 
in due season merged it with their older publication, making what has 
well been called a "Double Value Magazine " 

THE MISSION OF "EVERYDAY HOUSEKEEPING" 

"Everyday Housekeeping" is now a distinct and separate section of 
The Modern Priscilla, and it is the aim of the editors to make it of the 
greatest possible helpfulness to Priscilla readers. 

Its recipes are economical, appetizing and nourishing, its special 
articles are authoritative and deal with practical subjects, its hints, helps 
and suggestions are gleaned from the experience of housekeepers the 
country over. 

THE PRICE SMALL— THE VALUE UNUSUAL 

When all the foregoing is considered, even the most critical must ad- 
mit that at $1.00 a year The Modern Priscilla is an exceptional value 
(Canadian subscription price, $1.25) and that its steady growth in circu- 
lation from a few hundred copies 25 years ago to nearly 400.000 to-day is 
but the natural outcome of its policy of helpfulness. 

The news-stand price of The Modern Priscilla is 10 cents a copy. 
Orders for subscriptions should be sent to The Priscilla Publishing Com- 
pany, 85 Broad Street, Boston, Mass.
